95% of the waterways that we tested in Pennsylvania had PFAS "forever chemicals."
Today, we released a report outlining the risks that these chemicals pose to our health & environment and our policy recommendations on how to tackle this threat environmentamerica.org/penns…

ICYMI: A bill that would phase out PFAS forever chemicals in firefighting foam passed the state senate last week. Now, it’s up to the state house to move the bill quickly so that PA's firefighters & residents are protected.

Philly schools have installed lead-filtering water fountains in city schools, but high levels of lead are still being found in sinks in school kitchens and nurses offices.
Check out this great piece by @KyleBagenstose for @gridphilly to learn more gridphilly.com/blog-home/202…
Even taps that haven't tested positive yet, could still have high levels of lead. “It’s likely that even kitchen and nurse sinks that tested negative for lead in their most recent round of testing will inevitably have a percentage test positive in the next round.”
We need to do more to protect kids in Philly, & across the Commonwealth, from this harmful neurotoxin. Thank you for your advocacy on this important issue @CouncilwomanKGR, @CouncilmemberJG, @SenRobinsonPA, @SenatorHaywood, @SenatorJohnKane, & Marilyn Howarth from @UPennCEET_CEC
